Now this is worth a ......

post. I had a couple clutches hatch the past few days and I was going to wait until everything shed. I think this one is worth a pre-shed post. I didn't do great on the genetics as this is a result of a Candy Cane X Het breeding. Out of 4 eggs I got 1 candy 1 almost candy and 2 hets. I am hoping it's a male as all I have are female Candy Canes.



And the 2 hets

I gotta say I normally don't comment on many snakes unless it is something rare or has surperior breeding efforts behind it.

Congrats that is a beaut!

Thanks Ross, the head is definitely cool. I like how the black is just gone except for the "Third Eye".

Thanks Billy! Which one do you like better normal, reduced black, or the candy cane?

I actually like them all! HAHA!!

Very hard question.

They each offer something so different from the visual aspects.

I guess I like them equally. The ones with hardly any black or no black have the orange and whites just scream out, while the ones that are the hets, with the most black, give that contrasting look to them that I love so much too, along with the whites and reds.

Killer stuff my friend! Keep posting pics!

That Candy Cane is definitely a keeper Jimmy! I love the head.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!

Nice Jimmy!
I really like the reduced black pattern on candy cane knobs and Applegate special pyros.......
